Scroll flask with applied collar

[ecotramper412]

Hi All,
I don't have any historic flask books and I'm having a difficult time determining what type of flask this is: It has an applied collar, which I believe is different than most of these flasks, and a different design on the bottle, including a star.

I'm curious on the specific name & the approximate date - the top makes me think it is a newer historic flask, but the pontil throws me off.

Thanks!

Well I just hastily scanned McKearins scroll flask section and didn't see any lips like that, but it certainly has an 1865-70 look to it, the bottle does.. except for the green felt feet...

Hasty makes wasty Cyberdigger []old Chinese proverb[8D] Charlie ( cyber) was correct about the age estimate.I believe your bottle if it is the half pint sized which most are that have the Fleur-de-lis. Your flask is the GIX-32 which Mckearin shows having a top similar to yours and a oxide large pontil mark is correct for this flask.Nice bottle very collectable, do you have others?
